Who we are
GlazeCombo (https://glazecombo.com) is a pottery website operated by Marija Enika, based in Latvia.
For privacy questions or requests concerning your personal data, contact marija.enika@gmail.com.
Visitor registration is currently disabled. You do not need an account to submit a glaze combination.
Glaze combination submissions
Our submission form requires your email address, a description of your glaze combination, and at least one photograph. You may upload up to three photographs.
We use your email address to handle your submission and contact you if clarification is needed. Your email address is not published.
Please include only information relevant to your glaze combination. Avoid private contact details, identifiable people, or other unnecessary personal information in your description and photographs.
Photographs may contain embedded metadata, including names or location information. The submission form does not automatically remove this metadata.
Your description and photographs are emailed to the website administrator’s Gmail mailbox for review. The email also includes the referring page address where available.
The form does not create a submission record in the WordPress database or automatically add uploaded photographs to the media library. Temporary image files are normally deleted from the website server immediately after the email sending attempt. If processing is interrupted, files may remain until a later cleanup.
Deleting temporary website files does not delete copies received in Gmail.
Approved descriptions and photographs may be published on GlazeCombo and become publicly accessible. Submit only material that you own or have permission to share and publish.
Website comments
Comments are reviewed before publication. You may use a nickname, and providing a name or email address is optional.
If you voluntarily complete these fields, the information is stored with your comment. Your email address is not displayed publicly. Your comment, display name, and any website link you provide may be published.
WordPress also processes the commenter’s IP address and browser information to support moderation and help prevent abuse.
WordPress comment avatars are disabled. The option to remember comment details using comment cookies is also disabled.
Analytics
We use Independent Analytics to understand website traffic and improve our content. Statistics include visited pages, referring websites, device and browser types, and approximate geographical locations.
Independent Analytics does not use analytics cookies. It processes visitors’ IP addresses to determine approximate locations and create hashed visitor identifiers, rather than storing the original IP addresses in its analytics database.
Analytics information is stored in our website’s WordPress database and is not sent to the Independent Analytics developer.
Email and technical information
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, attachments, and any other information you provide. We use these to respond and handle your enquiry.
Our hosting infrastructure may process IP addresses, request times, requested pages, and browser information to deliver the website, maintain security, and investigate technical problems.
Purposes and legal bases
Where personal data is involved, we rely on our legitimate interests in:
- Operating and securing the website.
- Reviewing glaze submissions and publishing the pottery material offered for that purpose.
- Moderating comments and preventing abuse.
- Responding to enquiries.
- Understanding website use and improving our content.
We consider these interests alongside visitors’ privacy rights. Where consent is required for a particular activity, we will request it separately. Information may also be processed where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Submitting content is voluntary. Your email address, a description, and at least one photograph are required to use the glaze submission form.
Service providers and public content
We use Hostinger for website hosting and Google’s Gmail service to receive submissions and correspondence. These providers process information as necessary to deliver their services.
Approved submissions and comments are publicly accessible. Private correspondence and email addresses are not published without permission.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law.
Google operates internationally, so information handled through Gmail may be processed outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Google describes its applicable transfer mechanisms, including adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses, at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks
Information about Hostinger’s processing arrangements and applicable transfer safeguards is available at:
https://www.hostinger.com/legal/dpa
You may contact us for further information about the providers and safeguards relevant to your data.
Retention
Rejected submissions are deleted from the administrator’s Gmail mailbox within 30 days of the decision. Messages moved to Gmail Trash must also be permanently deleted to complete this process.
Originals of approved submissions are retained for as long as the corresponding material remains published, to document its source and address questions about its use.
Approved comments may remain for as long as the relevant discussion remains published. Other correspondence is retained for as long as needed to resolve the enquiry and any related follow-up.
Analytics records are retained for historical traffic comparisons and reviewed for continued usefulness. Technical logs and backups follow the applicable hosting retention settings. Backup copies may remain temporarily after information is removed from the live website.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data and request correction.
- Request deletion or restriction of processing.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Receive data in a portable format where applicable.
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Send requests to marija.enika@gmail.com.
For submissions made without contact details, please provide enough information to help us locate the material and establish your connection to it. We will normally respond within one month, subject to any extension permitted by applicable law.
You may lodge a complaint with Latvia’s Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija):
